1. Aim

The aim of this assignment is to provide evidence that the author has attained the
required level of knowledge and understanding in the theory and application of project
management through demonstration of the following learning outcomes:

LO1) Critically asses the technical aspects of project management.

LO2) Appraise and apply the legal aspects of project management procedures
within a complex built environment context.
LO3) Preform high level planning and programming skills.

This will be achieved through the production of a planning report for the construction
of The Stoller Building which is the new premises for Bolton’s University Technical
College (UTC Bolton).

The principal element of this planning report will be a detailed programme covering
the construction of the UTC Bolton building. This programme will be in Gantt chart
format and developed using Microsoft Project. The programme will include key
activities which will be connected in a logical sequence. This report will then provide
more detail on a selection of these activities to demonstrate how their duration has
been calculated from first principles.

This report will also provide analysis and justification of the allocation of labour, plant
and materials for a selection of activities with reference to health and safety legislation
and best practice.

The final part of this report will propose a suitable project management team structure
for the project.

2. Project Definition

2.1. Overall Project Objective

The UK government believe that one of the key economic problems that the country
currently faces is to down to the current shortage of Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM) skills in the workforce (House of Commons Commitee of
Public Accounts, 2018). The development of STEM skills is therefore vital for
economic growth and higher living standards (CBI, 2014).

The overall objective of this project is to therefore provide a facility to meet the urgent
need for STEM skills in Bolton and the surrounding North West region. The completion
of the UTC Bolton facility will provide the combined academic, technical and practical
education to equip young people to take on highly skilled roles in health, sciences and
the technology sectors (UTC Bolton, n.d.).

2.2. Appointment and Construction Phase Objective

XYZ Building Contractors have been appointed by the project sponsor to construct the
UTC Bolton facility. The primary objective of the construction phase is to complete the
construction of the facility on time, within budget and to the agreed scope and
specification of the project sponsor.

2.3 Description of Project Deliverable

The UTC Bolton facility will be a 3 story building approximately 1750m2 in area. As
well as classrooms, computer rooms and lecture/seminar halls, the facility will also
house specialist laboratories for Optometry, Clinical Dentistry, Pharmaceutical
Consulting, Medical Simulation Robotics, Electronics and 3D Printing facilities. The
facility will also include more standard facilities such as toilets, bathrooms, kitchens,
canteen areas, storage areas as well as various offices for faculty. To help the facility
to function, an 86m2 plant room is to be provided on the ground floor.

The building will have a steel frame superstructure which will be constructed on piled
foundations. The exterior envelope of the building will be a combination of curtain wall
cladding and facing brickwork. Internally, the building will include composite floors
with precast concrete stairways and lift shaft. This project will also include external
work such as the provision of a new public realm landscaped area as well as new
footpaths, carparks and access roads.

2.4 Project Plan
The proposed construction programme for this project is included is Appendix A of this
report.

2.5 Project History and Handover Information

This project is about to enter the construction phase. The architectural design has
been completed by Bluesky Architects. Architectural drawings have been provided to
assist the production of the construction programme. These handover drawings are
included in Appendix B of this report.

No structural drawings have been provided, therefore assumptions have been made
during the production of the construction project plan. These assumptions are
described in Section 3.3 of this report.

3. Project Plan

3.1. Introduction
A project plan for the construction of the UTC Bolton building is included in Appendix
A of this report. This construction programme is in the form of a Gantt Chart which
has been developed using Microsoft’s Project software.

This section of the report will describe the principles of how the programme has been
developed, explain what assumptions have been and also provide a general summary
of the programme.

3.2. Construction Planning Principles

Proper construction management is instrumental in the successful delivery of
construction projects. This is achieved through careful control of the three main
constraints of project management, which are time, cost and scope of work.

There are 5 steps to construction planning (Sears, et al., 2015), these are as follows:

1. Selection of the general approach to the project (discussed below).

2. Breakdown of the project into activities that must be performed (proposed
construction programme includes various activities).
3. Ascertainment of the sequential relationships among these activities (proposed
construction programme includes logics).
4. Graphic presentation of this planning information in the form of a network
(proposed construction programme is in Gantt Chart format).
5. Endorsement by the project team (proposed project team structure is described
in Section 6 of this report).

The general approach that this project plan will adopt is the top-down planning
methodology whereby the project is broken down into major and subsequent
component pieces to a sufficient level of detail to satisfy the complexity of the project,
which will, in-turn, generate a work breakdown structure (WBS). To help understand
the sequence and logics of the programme, these WBS elements will be presented in
chronological order as much as possible. The WBS elements for the construction
programme for this project are:

• Site mobilisation

6
 • Site grading and utilities
• Foundations
• Building superstructure
• Building envelope
• Internal fit out
• External works
• Commissioning and handover

3.3. Programme Assumptions

3.3.1. Working Hours
Construction programmes utilise a variety of different time units including hours, days,
weeks and even months. The choice of time unit largely depends on the scale of the
programme in which they are to be used. For example, hours would be an appropriate
time unit for a contract manger’s forecast programme for the upcoming week, whereas
weeks or months may be more appropriate time units for more high-end / strategic
programmes for large scale projects which may take many years to complete, such as
the HS2 project (Oliver, 2014).

However, within the construction industry, activity durations are most commonly
expressed in terms of working days (Sears, et al., 2015) and therefore the programme
developed for this assignment will utilises the same choice of time unit.

The programme is based on a 10 hour working day (8am to 6pm) for all days during a
working week (i.e. Monday to Friday). It is important that this time unit is consistent
throughout the entire programme therefore any activity duration that does not exactly
equal a full working day will be rounded up to the next full working day. This ‘rounding-
up’ is beneficial to the programme as it provides a small level of float to be built into a
variety of activities. If properly managed, this ‘in-built float’ can be utilised to allow
activities to be finished ahead of schedule, or alternatively, help get the project get
back onto programme if delays are encountered.

This rounding-up also has an additional benefit of providing some allowance for
mobilization of plant, labour and materials from the end of one activity to the start of
the next. The majority of the activities included in the programme developed for this
assignment are based the concept of a finish to start relationship, in that once an

7
activity is finished the next activity can start. However, the assumption that there is an
instantaneous transition between a completed activity and those that immediately
follow does not match the reality of what actually happens on site. Most sequential
transitions between successive activities on actual construction projects involve either
some overlapping or some delay between the finish of one and the start of the next
(Sears, et al., 2015). Providing a detailed programme that accounted for all this
additional mobilisation would necessitate the widespread use of lag relationships
which would only make the programme far more complicated without gaining any
management efficiency (Sears, et al., 2015). For this reason, lag relationships have
not been extensively used in the production of the programme for this assignment,
except for special circumstances where the time effects are substantial.

Selecting working days as the standard form of time unit for this programme also
means the following base assumptions have been made:

• A typical working day does not include overtime or working multiple shifts.
• No works will be programmed during weekends or holidays.
• For each activity a normal/optimum level of manpower and/or equipment has
been assumed.
• All activities will be undertaken during normal weather conditions.

The programme includes the following holidays:

Table 3.1 - Holidays Included in Construction Programme

3.3.2. Construction Start Up

Prior to commencement on site the following assumptions have been made:

• Contract has been signed and notice to proceed has been received.
• Bond and insurance documentation has been submitted.

8
 • F10 notification has been submitted to HSE.
• All required environmental studies have been completed and any subsequent
mitigation works have also been completed.
• All existing buildings and premises have been demolished including any
foundations and ground slabs.
• All contaminated material has been removed from the site (i.e asbestos).
• All existing utilities have been disconnected and abandoned/removed or
diverted.
• All required ground investigation work has been carried out and piled foundation
design has been completed.

3.3.3. Utility Supply to Building

No utility services drawings have been provided, therefore the durations for the ‘rough-
in’ installation on the buildings, utility supply apparatus (water, electric, gas, telecom,
fibre optics) and foul and storm drainage have all been assumed.

3.3.4. Building Foundations

No information has been provided regarding the building foundations. It has therefore
been assumed that the building will be constructed on piled foundations with one pile
provided for every column base, therefore the building will require a total of 71 piles.

The Spon’s Architects’ and Builders’ Price Book 2019 (AECOM, 2019) does not
provide production rates for piles, therefore a production rate of 5 complete piles (bore
pile, install re-bar cage, pour concrete) per day has been assumed. This equates to
a duration of 15 working days to complete all 71 piles.

3.3.5. Steel Frame Superstructure

No structural drawings have been provided in the handover information, the
construction programme has therefore assumed an arrangement for the structural
steel frame. This assumed superstructure layout is shown in Figure 3.1.

9
 Figure 3.1 - Assumed Layout of Steel Frame Superstructure

The assumed steel frame superstructure shown in Figure 3.1 includes 71 full height
columns and a total of 336 primary beam members. These primary beams are equally
split (112) between the first floor, second floor and the roof.

The Spon’s price book does not include production rates for the erection of steel frame
structures, therefore an assumed rate of 8 columns or primary beams members
installed in a day has been used.

3.3.6. First and Second Floor Concrete Slabs

It is assumed that composite flooring will be used for the first and second floors. For
this type of flooring, in-situ concrete is poured onto permanent trapezoidal shaped
metal decking formwork. The trapezoidal shape of the decking formwork means that
the volume of concrete required is less than if the floor was a solid slab, like the ground
floor. The type of composite floor decking used in this project is based on the
ComFlor® 60 product manufactured by TATA Steel. For a 150mm deep floor slab,
using this type of composite floor decking effectively reduces the depth to 118mm
(TATA Steel, 2017) for the purpose of calculating the volume of concrete required.

10
3.3.7. Roofing
No information has been provided regarding the roof of the building therefore the
duration of all roofing activities has been assumed. This includes the installation of
the roof purlins, roof light frames, roof panels, roof drainage systems and the roof
waterproof cladding.

3.3.8. Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC Equipment

No information has been provided regarding the layout of plumbing, electrical, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning apparatus throughout the building. This means that
duration have been assumed regarding the installation of this equipment within the
floor slabs, walls and suspended ceilings for each level of the building, as well as the
assembly of equipment in the plant room located on the ground floor. The durations
for the second fix and commissioning of this equipment have also been assumed.

3.3.9. External Storm Drainage

No information has been provided regarding the layout of storm drainage for the
carparks, access roads and footpaths. The duration for the installation of all this
external drainage apparatus has therefore been assumed.

3.4. Summary of Construction Programme

The total duration of the proposed construction programme is approximately 14
months. The project has a start date of 07/05/2019, with a handover date of
30/07/2020 and an overall completion date of 05/08/2020. The handover date is
significant, as it provides the university a period of 1 month to furnish the building prior
to that start of September when the new academic year begins.

The programme includes several milestones, these are:

• Start of Construction
• Site Mobilisation Complete
• Building Foundations Complete
• Building Superstructure Complete
• Watertight Envelope of Building
• External Works Complete
• Ground Floor Complete
• 1st Floor Complete2nd Floor Complete

11
 • Building Handover
• Project Completion

Using Microsoft Project, the construction programme has undergone a network

analysis to determine the critical path. Out of a total of 143 activities that make up the
construction programme, 41 activities have been identified as being critical. To identify
them on the programme, these critical activities have been highlighted as red.

The identification the critical activities is extremely important as any delay to these
activities will automatically lengthen the critical path, which will lengthen the overall
project duration and delay the finish date. Identifying the critical activities therefore
aids the project manager by allowing him/her to pinpoint those job areas that must be
closely monitored at all times if the project is to be kept on schedule.

4. Detailed Determination of Durations

4.1. Introduction
This section of the report will analyse three major elements within the proposed
construction programme and show how the durations for these elements have been
determined from first principles. The major programme elements that will be analysed
in detail are:

• Ground floor slab from placement of hardcore to sealant of joints

• Internal walls and ceiling
• External works, roads, footpaths and grassed areas

Production rates are required to calculate the duration of activities. Spon’s Architects’
and Builders’ Price Book 2019 (AECOM, 2019) will be used as the primary source for
published production rates. Where Spon’s does not include any production rates, or
the production rate stated does not exactly match the activity being carried out, then
assumed production rates will be used when calculating the duration of an activity.

4.2. Ground Floor Slab from Placement of Hardcore to Sealing of Joints

4.2.1. Element Description
It is assumed that all floor slabs throughout the building will be cast insitu. This
element will focus of the activities required for the production of the ground floor
concrete slab. This includes all ground and underlay works (hardcore, DPM,
insulation, etc), formwork (shutters, joints, etc), reinforcement, casting the slab and
associated finishes to the slab surface. The proposed general make-up and
arrangement of the ground floor slab is shown on Figure 9.1 included in Appendix C.

4.2.2. Ground Floor Slab – Ground and Underlay Works

As shown on Figure 9.1 included in Appendix C, the ground slab is to be constructed
on top of a 200mm deep layer of underfloor insulation which sits on top of the damp
proof membrane. Underneath the DPM there is a 50mm thick layer of blinding sand
and 150mm deep layer of imported hardcore.

13
 Figure 4.1 - GF Concrete Slab Outline and Area

Figure 4.1 shows the outline and hatched area of the ground floor slab drawn in
AutoCAD. The area of the floor slab has been measured as 1667m2. This area has
been used in the duration calculations for placement of the underfloor insulation and
the 50mm layer of blinding sand. The placement of hardcore is calculated using
volumes, therefore the volume of a 150mm deep layer of hardcore under the slab area
equates to 250.1m3.

The area of DPM needs to be greater than the surface area of the slab, to account for
the membrane wrapping up the inner blockwork walls to a minimum height of 150mm
above finished ground level. To account for this, the ground floor will require 1865m2
of DPM.

14
Table 4.1 displays how the detailed durations have been calculated for the activities
involved with ground and underlay works to the ground floor concrete slab. The total
duration when the activities are combined equates to 19 days.

4.2.3. Ground Floor Slab – Formwork and Reinforcement

The vast size of the ground floor concrete slab requires some consideration to be
made into the expansion and contraction of the concrete material. Joints will therefore
need to be included within and surrounding the floor slab to accommodate for this
movement.

Figure 4.2 - GF Slab Perimeter and Internal Concrete Joints

As shown in Figure 4.2, fibreboard joints (shown as blue line) will be placed around
the perimeter of the floor slab, where it interfaces with the walls (including the plant
room walls). The total required length of this type of perimeter joint has been
measured at 305m. The slab will also require internal joints, represented by the
magenta lines in Figure 4.2. These internal joints form a grid line pattern of 4.5m x
4.5m squares. The size of these squares is based on best practice, which
recommends that joints are spaced at a distance of approximately 30 x the depth of
the slab (0.15m) ([Link], n.d.).

These internal joints require shuttering and dowel bars to connect one square bay to
another bay which is poured at a later date. These dowel bars are spaced at 300mm
centres ([Link], n.d.) meaning that each 1m length of shuttering will
require 3no. dowel bars. A composite production rate of 0.67 hours per metre has

15
therefore been applied to the internal joints to include for the fibreboard joint (0.14
hrs/m), formwork (0.41 hrs/m) and 3no. dowels (0.12 hrs). The total length of all
internal joints has been measured as 629m.

The slab will include A252 mesh reinforcement. The total area of reinforcement
required is measured as 1590m2. The reason that this area of reinforcement is less
than the overall area of the floor slab is to allow for 50mm gaps between the
reinforcement and the joints, so that the reinforcement has sufficient cover.

The total duration when the activities are combined equates to 10 days.

4.2.4. Ground Floor Slab – Casting the Slab and Associated Finishes
The casting of the 150mm thick ground floor slab will require 250.05m3 of C35N
concrete. It is assumed that the entire floor area (1667m2) will require a power float
finish. All joints will also need to be sealed. The total length of both perimeter and
internal joints has been measured as 934m.

Table 4.3 - GF Slab Casting and Associated Finishes – Detailed Durations

Table 4.3 displays how the detailed durations have been calculated for the activities
involved with the casting and finishing of the ground floor concrete slab. The total

16
duration when the activities are combined equates to 10 days. However, as mentioned
in Section 4.2.3, the floor needs to be split into smaller bays and the pouring of these
smaller bays needs to be carefully sequenced. This is because the power floating of
the concrete surface needs to be carried out on the same day as when the concrete
is poured, before the concrete sets too much and floating the surface is no longer
possible. Ensuring that there is sufficient time allocated to provide this desired surface
finish will mean that the concrete cannot be poured for the full 10 hours of the working
day. The result of this this is that the floor slab is poured over 9 days rather than the
5 indicated in Table 4.3, but as these 9 days also include the power floating finish
work, then the overall duration still remains 10 days.

More details regarding the sequencing of the concrete pour and the allocation of
resources to construct the ground floor slab are provided in Section 5.2 of this report.

4.3. Internal Walls and Ceiling

4.3.1. Element Description
This element will focus on the activities required for the production of the internal walls
and ceiling for all floors. This will include all wall linings, plastering and decoration.

4.3.2. Internal Walls and Ceiling – Ground Floor

The proposed arrangement of the internal walls and suspended ceiling for the ground
floor is shown on Figure 4.3

Figure 4.3 - GF Internal Walls and Ceiling Arrangement

17
The magenta lines represent the length internal partition walls proposed for the ground
floor. The total length of these partition walls has been measured at 397m. The red
lines in Figure 4.3 represent the length of external walls that are to be lined with
wallboard/plasterboard. The total length of these lines is measured at 303m. It is
assumed that both sides of the internal partition walls also need to be lined, therefore,
the total length of lined walls equals 303 + (397 x 2) = 1097m.

It is also assumed that all lined walls will require one coat of plaster. The total area of
plastering required is calculated by multiplying the total length of lined walls by the
height from the floor to the ceiling, which is 2.7m. This calculates that the total area
of plastering required is 2961.9m2.

The green hatched area shown in Figure 4.3 represents the area of suspended ceiling
required for the ground floor. This has been measured as 1400m2. It has been
assumed that no suspended ceiling is required in the plant room. The total area of
decoration / painting (including mist coat) is calculated from the total area of all lined
walls plus the area of the suspended ceiling, which equals 4361m2.

The calculated detailed durations for these activities, shown in tables 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6,
represent a worst case approach as voids for doors and windows have not been
included, therefore the quantities that have been determined are greater than what is
actually required. It is envisioned that this additional time will be used for the
installation of more specialised, high-end internal cladding and decorations, for which
the Spon’s price book does not provide any production rates.

4.4. External Works

4.4.1. Element Description
This element will focus of the activities required for the provision of the external
landscaped public realm areas surrounding the UTC Bolton building. This includes
the provision various types of kerbing as well as access roads and car parks. It will
also cover multiple types of footpath, from blacktop footpaths to slabbed and block
paved. The final activity that this element will cover is the provision of the grassed
areas.

All of these activities are based on Figure 9.2 included in Appendix D. This figure was
drawn in AutoCAD so that various quantities could be measured such as length of
kerbs, area of footpaths etc.

Where as the previous two elements that have been described in detail in this section
of the report have all used production rates published in Spon’s Architects’ and
Builders’ Price Book 2019 (AECOM, 2019), the activities involved with this element
are more aligned towards highway and civil engineering work. Therefore, the
production rates published in Spon’s Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book
2018 (AECOM, 2018) will be used instead to determine the detailed durations. There
is, however, a slight difference in these two price books, with the architects’ and

21
builders’ book providing production rates in labour hours whereas the civil and highway
works book provides production rates in the format of gang hours. The duration
calculation tables for this element have therefore been adjusted slightly to
accommodate for this change in production rate format.

4.4.2. External Works – Kerbing

As shown on Figure 9.2 included in Appendix D, the external landscaped public realm
areas will require lengths of various types of kerbing. All kerbs require concrete
foundation and haunching, but the half battered and channel kerbs require a larger
foundation than the edging kerbs. The total length of kerbs (1490m) has therefore
been spit into two lengths to provide quantities for these two kerbing foundation
activities.

The length of kerbs that are to be laid in a curve (less than 12m radius) are also
measured as these kerbs take longer to lay than those that are laid in a straight line.
The Spon’s civil and highways price book recommends that a kerbing gang is made
up of 5 operatives.

4.4.3. External Works – Footpaths
As shown on Figure 9.2 included in Appendix D, the external landscaped public realm
areas will feature three types of footway. These are standard blacktop footways as
well as footpaths made from concrete slabs and rectangular paving blocks.

It is assumed that all types of footpath will require 100mm deep sub-base foundation.
The Spon’s civil and highways price book recommends that a footpath sub-base gang
is made up of 4 operatives, footpath blacktop gang consists of 4 operatives and both
slabwork and block paving gangs consist of two people each.

4.4.3. External Works – Access Roads and Carparks

The external works shown on Figure 9.2 included in Appendix D also include access
roads and carpark areas. A construction depth of 200mm sub-base, 70mm binder
course and 40mm asphalt surface course has been assumed for all roads and carpark
areas.

The Spon’s civil and highways price book recommends that a road sub-base gang is
made up of 6 operatives and a flexible pavement gang consists of 11 operatives.

4.4.4. External Works – Grassed Areas

The final activities covered by this element concern the provision of the grasses areas
as shown in Figure 9.2 included in Appendix D. It is assumed that all grassed areas
require a 150mm deep layer of topsoil and that all grass will be produced from grass
seeding. The Spon’s civil and highways price book recommends that a topsoiling gang
is made up of 3 operatives and a landscaping gang is made up of 2 operatives.

5. Analysis and Justification of Resources

5.1. Introduction
This section of the report will provide analysis and justification of the allocation of
resources for a selection of elements included within the construction programme.
Reference will be made to health and safety legislation and best practice and how this
has been recognised in the work practices proposed.

5.2. Construction of Ground Floor Concrete Slab

Section 4.2 of this report provides details on how the durations for the programme
activities concerning the construction of the ground floor concrete slab have been
determined. As mentioned, the vast size of the ground slab will mean that
expansion/contraction joints will be required. Complying with best practice, these
joints are not to be spaced further than 4.5m apart, which will generate a grid like
pattern composed of 4.5m x 4.5m square bays.

The pouring of concrete into these smaller bays needs to be carefully planned as
adjacent bays need to be poured on later days. As mentioned in Section 4.2.4, the
maximum amount of concrete that can be poured in one day is limited to ensure that
there is sufficient time, before the end of the working day, to provide the power float
finish on the concrete surface. It was therefore determined that the ground floor slab
would take 10 days to pour and finish. The sequencing of this operation is shown in
Figure 5.1

Figure 5.1 - GF Slab Concrete Pour Sequence

25
The proposal of how the concrete is actually poured into the bays is to use the static
crane and a 1m3 concrete tipping bucket skip. It is assumed that the static crane is
fully utilised during the 9 days that the ground floor slab will be poured. This means
that any superstructure work on the buildings steel frame will need to be halted during
these 9 days. This provides a health and safety benefit as it prevent the scenario of
the concrete labourers working directly underneath the steel frame erectors, which
could result in accidents occurring from falling materials.

Using the static crane with the bucket skip does mean that the flow of concrete is not
going to be constant, as time is required, once the skip bucket has been emptied, for
it to be moved to concrete lorry, the skip to then be refilled and then the full bucket
skip to then be moved back into position. During this time the concrete labourers are
working the concrete (shovelling, vibrating, tamping etc). It is therefore important that
the number or concrete operatives is balanced with the output rate of the static crane.
Too few operatives and they will not be able to keep up with the volume of concrete
being poured, whereas too many operatives might mean non-productive work and
unnecessary additional costs imposed onto the project.

The Charted Institute of Building’s Technical Information Service No. 49 (Price &
Harris, 1985) has been used to determine the optimum number of concrete operatives
to be used on this project.

26
 Figure 5.2 - Determining Optimum Number of Concrete Operatives (Price & Harris, 1985)

As shown in Figure 5.2, the optimum number of concrete operatives for installing the
ground floor concrete slab is 7. This is based on an assumed average distance of
50m from the concrete lorries to the slab and it also assumes that the majority of the
concrete lorries arriving on site will be 6m3 size wagons.

27
This optimum number of 7 concrete operatives has therefore been used in Table 4.3
to calculate the detailed duration for the casting of the ground floor concrete slab. In
a similar approach, it is proposed that the same number of concrete operatives will
also be used during the casting of the 1st and 2nd floor concrete slabs.

When working with wet concrete, there is a risk of getting serious burns if it gets
trapped against the skin or chemical burns if it comes into contact with the eyes.
Concrete is therefore classed as a hazardous substance and its use is therefore
governed by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations
2002.

To control hazardous substances, HSG97 (HSE, 2004) recommends an Assess,

Control and Review approach is adopted. This means that the risks are assessed,
appropriate control measures (such as working methods, PPE and adequate welfare
facilities) are proposed and the work is properly supervised. Review also means
monitoring the health of employees who regularly work with concrete, as these
employees are at a far greater risk of contracting dermatitis.

The tools used when casting concrete also have the potential to cause harm through
noise and hand arm vibration. These are governed by the Control of Noise at Work
Regulations 2005 and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. The Health
and Safety Executive (HSE) has produced lots of guidance information, such as
INDG362 (HSE, 2012) and HSG170 (HSE, 1997), to help employers control these
hazards. Most guidance recommends the use of newer tools and equipment that
generate less noise and vibration. They also recommend that employers limit the level
of employee’s exposure to high levels of noise and vibration. Therefore, one of the
benefits of having such a large team of concrete operatives on this project is that there
will be more people to share the vibrating / poking duties thus reducing everybody’s
overall exposure.

5.3. Excavations and Working in Confined Spaces

Most major construction projects require some element of excavation works, as is the
case with this project; be it in the excavation of the trenches for the various utility
connections to the building or from the excavation of the foundations, pile caps etc.
Excavation work can be very hazardous with several people being killed or seriously
injured each year from working in excavations (Hughes & Ferrett, 2016). All

28
excavation work therefore needs to be properly planned, managed and supervised in
order to prevent accidents from occurring.

One of the major factors in these accidents is the type of soil which is being excavated.
Excavation in soils with poor structural stability are at greater risk of excavation
collapse. No ground information has been provided for this project, but an assumption
can be made, due to the fact that building is constructed on piles, that the structural
strength of the local underlying soil is probably quite poor.

The proposed construction programme for this project will therefore ensure that
appropriate resources are allocated so that excavations are always supported. This
can be in the form of open and close sheeting, manhole shores, trench boxes, drag
boxes etc. Using this type of equipment does mean that excavation activities will take
a longer time to complete compared to unsupported excavations, therefore, additional
time has been allocated in the construction programme.

It is also important that excavations are regularly inspected to check for early signs of
potential collapse. This normally done at the start of every shift but will also be
required when there is a potential change to the structure of the excavated soil, such
as increased water content after periods of heavy rain fall. Additional guidance
information in the planning and design of construction excavations is provided in
HSG185 (HSE, 1999).

With regards to drainage works, there may also be a potential requirement for
combined space working. On average, around 15 people in the UK are killed in
confined spaces incidents each year (IOSH, 2012). It is therefore important that any
confined space working is avoided where possible. If working in confined spaces is
unavoidable then the risks need to be assessed with suitable control measures
proposed.

This project will require the construction of several manholes for both the foul and
storm drainage connections to the new building as well as the storm drainage for the
new access roads and carparking areas. It is therefore unlikely that these manholes
can be completed without some form of confined space work. This project will,
however, try to minimise the amount of confined spaces work required, by doing as
much work as possible inside the manhole whilst the cover slab is removed. It should

29
be noted however, that although an open manhole no longer generates a confined
space environment, it does provide a void which people could potentially fall into
therefore the cover slab of the manhole should always be replaced back on top of the
manhole when it is unoccupied.

It is envisioned that confined spaces working will still be required in order to seal the
cover slab onto the chamber of the manhole. This work will be carried out in
accordance with approved code of practice guidance L101 (HSE, 2014). All required
equipment such as air testers and emergency evacuation equipment shall be
provided. There will also be at least 3 operatives allocated to this task, all of whom
will have appropriated training in confined spaces, so that there is always a ‘top man’
and an additional operative supervising the works that they can act should an
emergency arise.

5.4. Working at Height

The UTC Bolton building is a 3 story building, therefore the most common types of
accidents that could occur on this type of project are from hazards attributed to working
from height. Each year work at height accounts for about 50 – 60 deaths, more than
any other work activity, and around 4000 injuries (Hughes & Ferrett, 2016). The
Working at Height Regulations 2005 therefore puts legal duties on employers to
protect its employees when working at any height where there is a risk of injury/death.

To comply with theses regulations, this project will follow the guidance set out in
INDG401 (HSE, 2014), which provides 3 simple rules that should be followed before
attempting any work at height. These are:

• Avoid work at height where it is reasonably practicable to do so;

• Where work at height cannot be avoided, use an existing safe place of work or
provide work equipment to prevent falls;
• Minimise the distance and consequence of a fall where the risk cannot be
eliminated.

For this project there will be concerted effort to avoid working at height by doing as
much work as possible from the ground, but there will be many cases where this is not
reasonably practicable and therefore working at height will be required.

30
Where working at height cannot be avoided then it is important that suitable edge
protection is provided to prevent falls from occurring. When deciding on the type of
edge protection, priority should always be given to using existing/permanent edge
protection over temporary. For this reason, the construction programme included in
Appendix A does include activities for the installation of the permanent edge protection
around the first and second floor’s stair wells and floor voids, at the earliest possible
opportunity. There will, however, be several construction activities where using
existing/permanent edge protection is not an option and therefore temporary edge
protection will be required, such as the programme activity to construct the scaffolding
to protect the bricklayers while they construct the ground to first floor masonry walls.

To comply with the Working at Height Regulations 2005, this temporary support
structure will need to be designed and constructed in accordance with relevant
guidance such as Technical Guidance TG20 (NASC, 2013) and, unlike permanent
edge protection, this will need to be regularly inspected (normally over 7 days) or after
any adverse weather conditions that may have weakened it.

It is also envisaged that this project will require a lot of work to be carried out from
mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) such as scissor lifts and cherry pickers,
especially for the erection for the streel frame structure. On this project, MEWPs will
only be operated by trained and competent persons with safety harnesses used at all
times. The stability of the MEWP is critical to its safe use, therefore, they will only be
used and stable and firm ground whilst being aware of other environmental factors
that could cause instability, such as high winds. If winds speeds are found to be too
high then all MEWP work will need to be postponed until any adverse weather has
returned to safer levels. This could potentially cause a risk of delay to the project as
the erection of the steel frame columns is on the critical path of the construction
programme, but the safety of the workforce and public should always be the main
priority for any construction project.

How the different elevations of the building are accessed also needs to be considered
as, similar to edge protection, preference should be given to using existing/permanent
means of access (stairways) rather than temporary (ladders). Therefore, during this
project, the installation of the precast concrete stairways will be carried out as early as
possible in the construction programme.

31
This project will also utilise methods to minimise the distance and consequence of a
fall through the provision of a safety nets. The programme activity of installing the
composite trapezoidal floor shuttering for the first and second floor slabs does include
to provision of safety nets in its construction duration. The benefit of safety nets is that
they provide a collective means of fall arrest when compared to safety harnesses
which only protect the individual. Safety nets can also collect falling objects, improving
the safety of any operatives working below. Safety nets are, however, a specialist
piece of safety equipment and therefore should only be installed by competent
operatives. Safety nets also need to be regularly inspected and tested throughout
their use.

5.5. Static Crane

The most expensive piece of plant/equipment used during construction of the UTC
Bolton building will likely be the static crane. It is therefore important to maximise the
utilisation of the crane, whilst it is on site, to help reduce construction costs. For this
reason, the crane has been allocated as a resource for many activities in the
construction programme, such as:

• Erection of steel frame

• Erection of pre-cast stairways and lift shaft
• Casting of the concrete for all floor of the building
• Installing roof materials
• Installing the external curtain wall cladding to the building

The construction programme also includes activities that use the crane to strategically
place materials throughout the building, once each of the concrete floors have been
cast. This will help reduce manual handling injuries as it will reduce the distance that
materials need to be manually transported. This should also help to avoid trips and
falls as it avoids the need to manually transport materials up and down stairways.

Whilst maximising the crane’s utilisation is important, it’s use does, however, include
inherent safety risks. Lifting equipment is placed under a great deal of strain. If it is
not maintained in good working order it can fail with potentially serious consequences.
Fatalities frequently occur as a result of catastrophic lifting equipment failures (RRC
International, 2016). For this reason, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment

32
Regulations 1998 (LOLER) places a legal requirement that all lifting equipment is
thoroughly examined to ensure strength and stability.

All lifting operations will also need to be carefully planned, ensuring that all risks have
been assessed and that the proposed operation is achievable within the safe lifting
capacity of the crane. All lift operation will be supervised and only carried out by
trained and competent operatives.

As with the use of MEWPs, strong winds can also have an adverse effect of lifting
operations. There are several critical activities that require the use of the static crane,
therefore there is a potential risk that the completion date may delayed if any of these
critical activities need to be postponed due to high winds.

33
6. Project Management Team Structure

6.1. Introduction
Project teams are essential for delivering project outcomes within scope, time and
budget. The definition of a project team is ‘a selected group of individuals with
complimentary and interrelated tasks for a predetermined period to meet a specific
purpose or goal’ (Anantatmula, 2015).

Early establishment of the structural organisation of the project team is essential for
the team to collectively achieve the desired goals / outcomes of the project. This
section of the report will propose a suitable project team structure for this project.

6.2. Project Team Structure

The organisational structure of the project team for construction of the UTC Bolton
building is shown in Figure 9.3 included in Appendix E. This organisational structure
adopts an integrated approach so that representatives from the Sponsor/Client,
designers and end users are included as part of the Project Board and therefore are
able to make strategic decisions regarding the project during the construction period.
The Project Board will also receive input from the project’s numerous stakeholders.

The benefit of adopting an integrated project team approach is that it allows the project
to be delivered more efficiently by improving quality and enhancing whole life value
whilst also reducing the total cost (OGC, 2003).

This project team structure also complies with the PRINCE2® Project Model so that
levels of authority and lines of delegation are clearly defined. In this type of project
model, the project board are responsible for making all the major decisions within the
project. The Project Board direct the Project Manager who is responsible for the day-
to-day running of the project. He/she provides the Project Board with updates and any
relevant information to enable them to make the correct strategic decisions for the
project and then implements them.

The Project Manager also directs Team Managers who are responsible for managing
the teams that will be building the specialist products.

34
The project team also includes quality assurance specialists to ensure that the quality
of the building’s construction and associated works meet the specification and the
required level of standard.

35
7. Conclusion

This work represents a planning report for the construction of the new UTC Bolton
Stoller Building.

The principal element of this planning report is the production of a detailed construction
programme included in Appendix A of this report. This construction programme is in
Gantt chart format and developed using Microsoft Project. The programme includes
a large number of key activities, all of which have been connected in a logical
sequence. A network analysis has been carried out of the programme and the critical
path is highlighted. Many assumptions have been made to generate a construction
programme of sufficient detail. A list of these assumptions is included within this
report.

This report has also examined a selection of these activities in more detail to
demonstrate how their duration has been calculated from first principles.

This report has also provided analysis and justification of the allocation of labour, plant
and materials for a selection of activities with reference to health and safety legislation
and best practice.

In the final part of this report, a suitable project management team structure was
proposed for the project.
